1838:-Tithe Map of Mattishall &
Schedule (original in Norfolk Record Office)
Field/Plot 362 Owned by Ham Millett - house
& garden 2r 33p occupied by Lawrence Palmer
& William Thomas House. Oddly enough Horne
does not appear to be listed on the Schedule.
However, William Horne does figure in Mattishall
Poor Rate book of 27th September 1838. The entry
signifies that, a house and land, owned by Hamlet
Millett, was occupied by William Horne and surgery
by L. R. Palmer. A Poor Book of 1836 noted that
the property was in Bull Street which ran roughly
between what is now called the Old Vicarage
(almost opposite Mattishall Church) to Welgate.
Age 38
1839:- Mattishall Valuation Confirmation
that William Horne & Dr Palmer occupied
the property owned by Millett. In August 1839,
Thomas Horne is also listed as occupier of a
house owned by Millett. It may have been part
of the same property or adjoining it. Mr Millett
obviously died in 1839 for his Executors were
listed in November of that year as owners of
the property. Dr Palmer died in 1840 and the
two brothers William and Thomas Horne continued
as tenants. By November 1841 the property had
been sold to James Wire.
